Direct Sellers

Overview

The Commission administers the Direct Sellers Act through regulation, oversight, and licensing of every company or individual who engages in direct selling in New Brunswick.

Direct selling includes door-to-door sales and home party sales. Direct sales vendors and salespeople are required, with some exceptions, to be licensed and bonded under the Direct Sellers Act and carry their license with them when conducting business.
